I can't imagine, Colleen, I just can't.
That's a lot of blows for one relationship to absorb.
I agree that negative things can effect a our personalities, and/or how we relate to others. SOmetimes things makes us bitter, and bitterness makes us mean.
I wish I knew of a way to help your husband understand that his bitterness won't make things better for anyone, himself included. But I don't. And for you to try to help him understand at this point, a point where his meaness has you looking for a way out of your marriage, doesn't seem practical. In your shoes, I would be angry angry angry, too angry and tired to make the effort.
We chose not to have children but have still had to deal with our share of selfishness and childish behavior in each other.
Take care.
